HUB GROUP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
REVENUE
Revenue for Hub Group, Inc. (the "Company") increased 6.8% to $328.6
million from $307.7 million in 1999. Intermodal revenue increased 3.4% over
1999. Management believes that the slower than historical growth in intermodal
is due in part to the termination of a significant customer contract in November
1999 and in part to the service disruption from the split-up of Conrail which
began on June 1, 1999. Truckload brokerage revenue increased 9.3% over 1999. The
Company experienced an unusually soft market in truckload brokerage. Logistics
revenue, which includes revenue from the Company's core logistics services and
all revenue from Hub Group Distribution Services ("Hub Distribution"), increased
27.1% compared to 1999. This increase is primarily due to the growth in the
Company's core logistic services.
NET REVENUE
Net revenue increased to $39.5 million from $39.2 million in 1999. As a
percentage of revenue, net revenue decreased to 12.0% of revenue from 12.7% in
1999. This decrease in percentage is primarily due to lower margins at Hub
Distribution and fuel surcharges absorbed by the Company prior to obtaining an
agreed upon pass through to customers. The decrease in Hub Distribution's margin
was primarily the result of a high margin project that was conducted in the
first quarter of 1999 which was not repeated in the first quarter of 2000.
SALARIES AND BENEFITS
Salaries and benefits increased 11.2% to $23.2 million from $20.8
million in 1999. As a percentage of revenue, salaries and benefits increased to
7.1% of revenue from 6.8% in 1999. The increase in the percentage is primarily
attributed to one-time charges of severance payments related to operational
changes at several operating units, increased headcount supporting the Company's
information technology initiatives and increased headcount in the field
supporting operational growth.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 24.6% to $11.4
million from $9.1 million in 1999. These expenses, as a percentage of revenue,
increased to 3.5% from 3.0% in 1999. The increase in percentage is primarily
attributed to expenditures related to outside services and advertising primarily
by Hub Distribution to support its e-business initiatives.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Depreciation and amortization increased 9.6% to $1.2 million from $1.1
million in 1999. This expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 0.4% from
0.3% in 1999. The increase in depreciation is primarily attributed to internally
developed operating systems for the point of purchase installation and logistics
services offered by Hub Distribution.
8
AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL
Amortization of goodwill increased 88.3% to $1.4 million from $0.8
million in 1999. The expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 0.4% from
0.2%. The increase in expense is primarily attributable to the amortization of
the goodwill associated with the April 1999 purchase of the remaining 70%
minority interests in Hub City Alabama, L.P., Hub City Atlanta, L.P., Hub City
Boston, L.P., Hub City Canada, L.P., Hub City Cleveland, L.P., Hub City
Detroit, L.P., Hub City Florida, L.P., Hub City Indianapolis, L.P., Hub City
Kansas City, L.P., Hub City Mid-Atlantic, L.P., Hub City New York/New Jersey,
L.P., Hub City New York State, L.P., Hub City Ohio, L.P., Hub City
Philadelphia, L.P., Hub City Pittsburgh, L.P., Hub City Portland, L.P., and Hub
City St. Louis, L.P. (collectively referred to as the "April 1999 Purchase").
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income (expense) netted to $(2.9) million in 2000 compared to
$(0.2) million in 1999.
Interest expense increased to $3.2 million in 2000 from $0.5 million in
1999. The increase in interest expense is due primarily to the additional debt
required to fund the purchase of the remaining 70% minority interests in
connection with the April 1999 Purchase.
Interest income decreased to $0.2 million in 2000 from $0.3 million in
1999. The primary cause for this decrease is the Company's increased
concentration of its cash balances to reduce debt and minimize interest expense.
MINORITY INTEREST
Minority interest decreased 100.0% to $0.0 million from $3.9 million in
1999. The decrease in the percentage is primarily attributed to the purchase of
the remaining 70% minority interests in connection with the April 1999 Purchase.
The negative minority interest in 2000 is due to the loss incurred by Hub
Distribution due primarily to lower margins and costs incurred in the
development of their e-business initiative.
INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes decreased 116.3% to $(0.2) million from
$1.4 million in 1999. The Company is providing for income taxes at an effective
rate of 41% in 2000.
NET INCOME
Net income decreased 116.3% to $(0.3) million from $1.9 million in
1999. Net income is lower than the prior year due primarily to a loss of
profitability by Hub Distribution, the impact of fuel surcharges and as a result
of the items discussed above.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per share decreased 116.0% to $(0.04) from $0.25 in
1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company maintains a bank facility with Harris Trust and Savings
Bank ("Harris"). The facility is comprised of $50.0 million in term debt and a
$50.0 million revolving line of credit. At March 31, 2000, there was $46.3
million of outstanding term debt and $29.0 million outstanding and $21.0 million
unused and available under the line of credit with Harris. Borrowings under the
line of credit are unsecured and have a five-year term, that began on April 30,
9
1999, with a floating interest rate based upon the LIBOR (London Interbank
Offered Rate) or Prime Rate. The term debt has quarterly payments ranging from
$1,250,000 to $2,000,000 with a balloon payment of $19.0 million due on March
31, 2004.
The Company maintains $50.0 million of private placement debt (the
"Notes"). These Notes are unsecured and have an eight-year average life with a
coupon interest rate of 8.64% paid quarterly. These Notes mature on June 25,
2009, with annual payments of $10.0 million commencing on June 25, 2005.
The Company maintains a bank line of credit with Cass Bank and Trust
Company for $5.0 million. The interest rate is set at the bank's discretion at a
rate less than or equal to the bank's prime rate. The Company had no outstanding
advances on the line at March 31, 2000.
OUTLOOK, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
This "Outlook, Risks and Uncertainties" section contains statements
regarding expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the
future which are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are
inherently uncertain and subject to risks. Such statements should be viewed with
caution. Actual results or experience could differ materially from the
forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. The Company assumes no
liability to update any such forward-looking statements. In addition to those
mentioned elsewhere in this section, such risks and uncertainties include the
impact of competitive pressures in the marketplace, including the entry of new,
web-based competitors, the degree and rate of market growth in the intermodal,
brokerage and logistics markets served by the Company, changes in rail and truck
capacity, further consolidation of rail carriers, rail service conditions,
changes in governmental regulation, adverse weather conditions, fuel shortages,
changes in the cost of services from rail, drayage and other vendors and
fluctuations in interest rates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company believes that cash, cash to be provided by operations, cash
available under its lines of credit and the Company's ability to obtain
additional credit capacity will be sufficient to meet the Company's short-term
working capital and capital expenditure needs. The Company believes that the
aforementioned items are sufficient to meet its anticipated long-term working
capital, capital expenditure and debt repayment needs.
